ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
The graph shows the different trends in population growth in less developed regions of the world
versus more developed regions of the world. Solid lines in the graph indicate past data, and
dashed lines indicate future projections. (Projections of data are based on models, simulations, or
extrapolations from past data.)
According to the projected data, after what year will the majority of people in less developed
regions be living in urban areas? - CORRECT ANSWER - 2018
Which of the following statements are supported by the graph? Select all that apply. - CORRECT
ANSWER - in 1950, urban populations is more developed regions and less developed
regions were almost equal
in 2050, rural populations in less developed regions are projected to drop below 3 billion
rural populations are projected to drop in both more developed and less developed regions
in 2050, urban populations in less developed regions are projected to reach 5 billion
Since 2009, for the first time ever more people in the world were living in _____ areas than
_____ areas. - CORRECT ANSWER - urban; rural
Which of the following was most influential in shifting the population of developed countries
from the farms to the cities? - CORRECT ANSWER - industrialization
From the 1950-1990s, many cities experienced a loss in population as people left for the suburbs.
All of these are factors that led to this migration EXCEPT __________. - CORRECT

suburbs
An urban growth boundary is an attempt to limit sprawl by _____. - CORRECT
ANSWER - limiting future growth into already urbanized areas
, Which of the following types of people were the first to move into the suburban areas in the mid-
20th century? - CORRECT ANSWER - the affluent
Which city on the graph has both low to medium density (between 10 and 30 persons per
hectare) and low carbon emissions? - CORRECT ANSWER - copenhagen
Describe the relationship between carbon emissions and urban density as shown on the graph. -
CORRECT ANSWER - As urban density increases, per capita carbon emissions decrease.
Compare the population densities of the most and least dense cities on the graph. What is the
population ratio of the most- to least-dense cities? - CORRECT ANSWER - 7:1
Calculate the average population density of the cities on the graph. Does the city that has average
population density also have average carbon emissions? - CORRECT ANSWER - No,
carbon emissions are actually lower than average in the city with average density
You work for the city planning agency in Houston and successfully pass ordinances designed to
double population density. Based on the graph, predict the approximate change in carbon
emissions. - CORRECT ANSWER - 50% decline
Sprawl is the spread of _____ urban or suburban development outward from an urban center. -
CORRECT ANSWER - low-density
As sprawl increases in a city _____. - CORRECT ANSWER - the need for cars increases
Interpreting Graphs and Data: Automobile Dependency in Urban Areas
What information is provided on the x-axis? - CORRECT ANSWER - area per person, in
square meters
